Goals in either half for Benjamin Pavard and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting gave Bayern Munich their sixth win from six in this season’s UEFA Champions League, making them the first team ever to finish three different group stages with a 100% record.
In a repeat of the 2010 Champions League final, it was the then-runners-up Bayern Munich who struck first, taking the lead midway through the first half.
Although Inter could finish nowhere but second, their frustrations would be amplified in the second period, when they struggled to match their hosts for stamina and fell further behind in the 72nd minute.
This time it was Choupo-Moting who did the honours, advancing on a retreating Inter backline before whistling a crisp shot beyond his compatriot André Onana.
Despite being on the wrong end of an inconsequential result, this was still a disappointing night for Inter, who missed the chance to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions.
A positive result at the Allianz Arena would’ve also marked the first time they’d gone five matches without defeat in the UCL since lifting the trophy in 2010.
